Justin Patrick, Senior Vice President of Device Solutions at Itron, has spoken at industry events about the company's focus on data granularity and grid management. At the 2024 DTECH conference, Patrick stated that utilities are facing demands for two to five times their current capacity within 10 to 20 years, and argued that "wired solutions" alone cannot meet this need. He described Itron's work on distributed energy resource management, active transformer load management, and voltage management as "behind-the-wire solutions" intended to address these challenges. Patrick also thanked employees for the "reaction that the street had to our Q4 earnings results." In prior appearances, Patrick discussed Itron's product development. At the 2023 Itron Inspire event, he said that customers are seeking "data and data granularity" to react to network disruptions, and highlighted the company's evolution of its electric metering technology and the launch of the Intellis gas meter in North America, which he said provides "operational and safety protection." At the 2022 DTECH conference, Patrick noted that his group manufactures meters that collect data for utility and municipality customers, and expressed interest in companies developing technologies to reduce demand on grid infrastructure, such as load control switching and smart panel breakers.

“Whether it's distributed energy resource management, active transformer load, and voltage management, everything we're doing for behind-the-wire solutions is helping to solve that problem that they're seeing.”
“I'm also excited about the reaction that the street had to our Q4 earnings results, and I want to thank all of you for your strong efforts and the way that you helped to get us to that position.”
“One of the things that struck me in talking to our customers here at the Inspire event is the need for data and data granularity and what I think is really great is Itron is developing the next generations of products to be able to give them that data so they can react to disruptions in their networks and infrastructur...”
